There has been an increase in interest worldwide in fusion research
over the last decade and a half due to the recognition that a large
number of new, environmentally attractive, sustainable energy
sources will be needed to meet ever increasing demand for
electrical energy. Based on a series of course notes from graduate
courses in plasma physics and fusion energy at MIT, the text begins
with an overview of world energy needs, current methods of energy
generation, and the potential role that fusion may play in the
future. It covers energy issues such as the production of fusion
power, power balance, the design of a simple fusion reactor and the
basic plasma physics issues faced by the developers of fusion
power. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers
working in applied physics and nuclear engineering. A large number
of problems accumulated over two decades of teaching are included
to aid understanding.
